Trauma from female incestuous child sexual abuse may result in negative psychological consequences affecting adult relationships. This study explored relational consequences of incestuous child sexual abuse, focusing on conflict resolution styles, relationship satisfaction, and relationship stability. Using the RELATionship Evaluation dataset, 457 heterosexual couples in which female partners experienced incestuous child sexual abuse were compared to a group of 1,827 couples with no sexual abuse history. Analyses tested differences in the frequencies of reported conflict resolution styles for incestuous child sexual abuse and non-incestuous child sexual abuse groups, the mediating effects of conflict resolution styles on the relationship between incestuous child sexual abuse, and self- and partner-reported relationship satisfaction and stability. Significant differences in the reports of types of conflict resolution styles were found for incestuous child sexual abuse versus non-incestuous child sexual abuse groups. Incestuous child sexual abuse and conflict resolution styles were negatively related to relationship satisfaction and stability and there was a significant indirect effect between female incestuous child sexual abuse, female volatility, and relationship instability. Clinical applications for couple relationships are discussed.
女性乱伦性儿童性虐待造成的创伤可能会导致负面心理后果，影响成年后的人际关系。本研究探讨了乱伦性儿童性虐待的人际关系后果，重点关注冲突解决方式、关系满意度和关系稳定性。使用关系评估数据集，将457对女性伴侣曾遭受乱伦性儿童性虐待的异性恋夫妇与1827对无性虐待史夫妇组成的群体进行了比较。分析测试了乱伦性儿童性虐待组和非乱伦性儿童性虐待组报告的冲突解决方式频率差异、冲突解决方式对乱伦性儿童性虐待与自我及伴侣报告的关系满意度和稳定性之间关系的中介作用。在乱伦性儿童性虐待组与非乱伦性儿童性虐待组之间，冲突解决方式类型的报告存在显著差异。乱伦性儿童性虐待和冲突解决方式与关系满意度和稳定性呈负相关，女性乱伦性儿童性虐待、女性情绪波动和关系不稳定之间存在显著的间接效应。文中讨论了对夫妻关系的临床应用。
